Edwing D’Angelo is a chic and dashing Colombian-born Harlem based fashion designer – where he opened his now one year old groundbreaking street level 2,000 square feet Atelier and flagship store – the only one of its kind in this historic New York City neighborhood. D’Angelo attended CUNY Bernard Baruch College, receiving a double major in Business Administration in International Marketing and Fine Arts. The designer is a fifth generation of tailors and seamstresses; one can say garment-making runs in his blood – at home as a child, he got his apprentice technical training and discovered his eclectic, elegant and sophisticated sensibilities.

D’Angelo’s designs have graced the cover of Vogue Mexico featuring reggaeton sensation Karol G, mentions/editorials on Vogue USA, Vogue Italia, Elle Bulgary, The New York Times, reviews on WWD, New York Post, Daily News, Baruch College Magazine and one of his garments was selected for the Hollywood hit movie The Devil Wears Prada, starring Meryl Streep. His work has been reported on national television networks including CNN, MTV, NBC’s “The Today Show”, ABC’s “Good Morning America”, CBS’s Morning News, NY1, Full Frontal Fashion, The Associated Press and MSNBC. He is usually invited as a fashion contributor for popular Spanish networks such as Univision, Telemundo, CNN en Espanol, Galavision, NY1 Noticias and Telefutura. D’Angelo has also been featured in all major Spanish publications; The Miami Herald, El Diario/La Prensa, Latina Magazine, Puerto Rican Herald, Hispanic Business Magazine, New York Post Latin Section. As of late, the designer is ascending as a darling of his native Colombia’s fashion elite.

D’Angelo courted the interest of Hollywood actresses and luminaires such as Laurie Metcalf, Winona Judd, Amy Spangler, Tyra Banks, Patti LaBelle and Academy Award winner Mo’Nique.

Other celeb fans include music artists such as Mickey Gayton, Karol G, Keri Hilson, Sean Paul, Lil Kim; on TV and silver screen actors Laverne Cox, Leon Robinson, Bevy Smith, Zoe Saldana, Jocelyn Sanchez, Julissa Bermudez, Paula Garces, Vivica A. Fox, supermodel Jessica White and fashion maverick Patricia Field.

Words used frequently to describe D’Angelo’s aesthetics: posh, luxurious, fierce, edgy and opulent. A designer with a defined signature style for him, her or them even before it was a la mode. D’Angelo has always proposed non-binary concepts on his collections since his first installations in the early 2000’s. He introduced dressy jumpsuits and kilts for men when it was still taboo in his circle of clients, but it has been his daring and colorful style that has helped him carve his own lane in the NYC fashion industry.

For the near future, the independent designer is expanding his point of sales to SoHo, Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles and in  his favorite Colombian’s city, Cartagena, La Fantastica by opening his stand alone embassies as he loves to call his boutiques. He is presently working on the finishing of his retrospective luxury coffee-table book slated for Fall 2022 and an array of home good accents, shoes, accessories and his first fragrance. As he euphorically says, the best is yet to come!
